BACKGROUND Field

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a display substrate. More particularly, exemplary embodiments of the inventive concept relate to a display substrate for improving a display quality.

Discussion of the Background

A flat panel display (FPD) device is widely used as a display device of an electronic device for its lightweight and thinness compared to a cathode-ray tube (CRT) display device. Typical examples of the FPD device are a liquid crystal display (LCD) device and an organic light emitting display device.

Compared to the LCD device, the organic light emitting display device has several advantages, such as a higher luminance and a wider viewing angle. In addition, the organic light emitting display device can be made thinner because the organic light emitting display device does not require a backlight. In the organic light emitting display device, electrons and holes are injected into an organic thin layer through a cathode and an anode, and recombined in the organic thin layer to generate excitons, thereby emitting a light of a certain wavelength.

Recently, a transparent display device that is capable of transmitting an image of an object (or target) that is displayed in a rear (or at the back) of the display device by including a transparent region and a pixel region has been developed.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the inventive concepts. Therefore, it may contain information that does not form the prior art that was already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art or was publically available prior to an effective filing date of subject matter disclosed herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS

In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various exemplary embodiments. It is apparent, however, that various exemplary embodiments may be practiced without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring various exemplary embodiments.

Unless otherwise specified, the illustrated exemplary embodiments are to be understood as providing exemplary features of varying detail of various exemplary embodiments. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features, components, modules, layers, films, panels, regions, and/or aspects of the various illustrations may be otherwise combined, separated, interchanged, and/or rearranged without departing from the disclosed exemplary embodiments. Further, in the accompanying figures, the size and relative sizes of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., may be exaggerated for clarity and descriptive purposes. When an exemplary embodiment may be implemented differently, a specific process order may be performed differently from the described order. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially at the same time or performed in an order opposite to the described order. Also, like reference numerals denote like elements.

When an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly on, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers may be present. When, however, an element or layer is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. Further, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis are not limited to three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, and may be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis may be perpendicular to one another, or may represent different directions that are not perpendicular to one another. For the purposes of this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be construed as X only, Y only, Z only, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z, such as, for instance, XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Although the terms “first,” “second,” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, and/or section from another element, component, region, layer, and/or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, and/or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, and/or section without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.

Spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for descriptive purposes, and, thereby, to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the drawings. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of an apparatus in use, operation, and/or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, if the apparatus in the drawings is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. Furthermore, the apparatus may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and, as such, the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms, “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Moreover, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” and/or “including,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Various exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized exemplary embodiments and/or intermediate structures. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, exemplary embodiments disclosed herein should not be construed as limited to the particular illustrated shapes of regions, but are to include deviations in shapes that result from, for instance, manufacturing. The regions illustrated in the drawings are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of a region of a device and are not intended to be limiting.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure is a part. Terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless expressly so defined herein

Hereinafter, the inventive concept will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The second insulating interlayer 150 may be formed of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, etc., which may be used alone or in any suitable combination. For example, the second insulating interlayer 150 may include a first layer 151 formed of silicon oxide (SiO_(x)) and a second layer 152 formed of silicon nitride (SiN_(x)).

First and second electrodes E11 and E12 of the first transistor TR1 and first and second electrodes E21 and E22 of the second transistor TR2 may be formed using a source metal layer, and be disposed on the second insulating interlayer 150 in the emission area EA. The source metal layer may be formed of metal, alloy, metal nitride, conductive metal oxide, transparent conductive material, etc., which may be used alone or in any suitable combination.

The planarization layer 160 may be disposed in the emission area EA on the base substrate 101 on which the first and second electrodes E11, E12, E21, and E22 are disposed. A via hole VH that exposes the first electrode E11 of the first transistor TR1 may be formed in the planarization layer 160.

The organic emission layer OEL may be formed of any of various materials such as copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), N,N′-Di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N, N′-diphenyl-benzidine (NPB), or tris-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq3), etc.

The organic emission layer OEL may be formed by vacuum deposition. The hole layer 181 may include a hole injection layer HIL adjacent to the pixel electrode PE and a hole transport layer HTL adjacent to the color emission layer 182, as shown in FIG. 3B.

At least one of the hole layer 181 and the electron layer 183 in the organic emission layer OEL may be disposed in the transmission area TA.

According to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3A, only the electron layer 183 among the hole layer 181, the color emission layer 182, and the electron layer 183 may be disposed in the transmission area TA.

The hole injection layer HIL may have the greatest thickness and the hole injection layer HIL may have the highest refractive index among the hole injection layer HIL, the hole transport layer HTL, the electron transport layer ETL, and the electron injection layer EIL. Thus, a transmittance may decrease in an interface of the hole injection layer HIL having a high refractive index.

In order to prevent the transmittance from decreasing, according to the exemplary embodiment, the hole injection layer HIL in the hole layer 181 is disposed in only the emission area EA and is not disposed in the transmission area TA. Therefore, the display apparatus may prevent the transmittance from decreasing by the absence of the hole injection layer HIL having the high refractive index in the transmission area TA.

The common electrode CE may be disposed in both the emission area EA and the transmission area TA on the base substrate 101 on which the organic emission layer OEL is disposed. Thus, the organic light emitting diode OLED may be defined by the pixel electrode PE, the organic emission layer OEL, and the common electrode CE, which are disposed in the emission area EA.

The encapsulation layer 190 may be disposed on the emission area EA and the transmission area TA on the base substrate 101 on which the common electrode CE is disposed.

Thus, the transmittance in the transmission area TA may be improved.

The common electrode CE may be disposed in all the emission area EA and the transmission area TA on the base substrate 101 on which the organic emission layer OEL is disposed. Thus, the organic light emitting diode OLED may be defined by the pixel electrode PE, the organic emission layer OEL and the common electrode CE which are disposed in the emission area EA

The buffer layer 110 may be a lower layer adjacent to the hole injection layer HIL and have a first refractive index n1. The hole transport layer HTL may be an upper layer adjacent to the hole injection layer HIL and have a third refractive index n3. The hole injection layer HIL may have a second refractive index n2 that is greater than the first refractive index n1 and less than the third refractive index n3.

For example, when the buffer layer 110 may be formed of silicon oxide (SiO_(x)) having the first refractive index n1 of about 1.4 and the hole transport layer HTL may have the third refractive index n3 of about 1.8, the hole injection layer HIL may have the second refractive index n2 that is greater than about 1.4 and less than about 1.9 (about 1.4<n2<about 1.9).

Although not shown in figures, referring to FIG. 10, when the transmission window TW may expose at least one of a plurality of insulating layers 130, 140 and 150 of the pixel circuit layer PCL in the transmission window TW, the hole injection layer HIL, the hole transport layer HTL, the electron transport layer ETL, the electron injection layer EIL, the common electrode CE and the encapsulation layer 190 are sequentially stacked on an insulating layer exposed by the transmission window TW.

The electron transport layer ETL may be an upper layer adjacent to the hole injection layer HIL and have a third refractive index n3.

Although not shown in figures, referring to FIG. 10, when the transmission window TW may expose at least one of a plurality of insulating layers 130, 140, and 150 of the pixel circuit layer PCL in the transmission window TW, the hole injection layer HIL, the hole transport layer HTL, the electron transport layer ETL, the electron injection layer EIL, the common electrode CE and the encapsulation layer 190 are sequentially stacked on an insulating layer exposed by the transmission window TW. The hole injection layer HIL may have a refractive index between a first refractive index n1 of the insulating layer being the lower layer and the third refractive index n3 of the hole transport layer HTL being the upper layer.

For example, when the transmission window TW exposes a second insulating interlayer 150 in the transmission area TA, the hole injection layer HIL, the hole transport layer HTL, the electron injection layer EIL, the common electrode CE and the encapsulation layer 190 are sequentially stacked on the second insulating interlayer 150 of the transmission area TA. The hole injection layer HIL may have a refractive index between a first refractive index n1 of the second insulating interlayer 150 being the lower layer and the third refractive index n3 of the hole transport layer HTL being the upper layer.

Therefore, the hole injection layer HIL has a refractive index between refractive indexes of the upper and lower layers adjacent to the hole injection layer HIL. Thus, a reversal of the refractive index in the stacked organic layers which causes resonance may be avoided. Thus, the transmittance in the transmission area TA may be improved.

According to the exemplary embodiments, the hole injection layer may be disposed only in the emission area EA. In addition, the hole injection layer, the upper layer adjacent to the hole injection layer, and the lower layer adjacent to the hole injection layer may have sequential refractive indexes without reversal of the refractive index with respect to the stacked structure in the transmission area TA. In addition, the hole injection layer may have a thickness corresponding to the highest transmittance in the transmission area. Therefore, the transmittance of the transmission area may be improved.
